Aloha -

I have a nice, chill, backroom tiki bar but I am running into a major problem that I did not find an answer for while searching the archives.

I need a cheap(dirt cheap/dirt dirt cheap) and (mostly) temporary wall covering to cure my horrible glossy latex white paint. I am a renter so no painting and I am always broke so most thatch/mat/bamboo coverage is outside my price range.

The plus is that the room is an addition that has a wooden dowel/stud along the top that I can hang things like cloth. I thought butcher paper stained with tea or homemade tapa or cheap cloth coverage but I guess I was looking to see if there are any other good ideas out there.

Budget is somewhere in the $0-$50 range and the two larger walls are roughly 8' tall and 8'long.(One is slightly taller than the other giving a cool roof line). I want to make it cheap so I can do a cool bamboo/netting ceiling to highlight the a-frame-esque ceiling lines.
